About me

I have lived in Japan for 37 years and currently live with my husband and 5 cats. My two children are living and working in the States. I have been a quilter for over 20 years but I am semi-retired and teach English occasionally. I love the Bible and Jesus and try to serve as I can to His glory

Quilting profile

I'm a self-taught quilter who for the past 20 years has progressed through trial and error mostly using Japanese books. I belong to a small group of quilters and we yearly make a bazaar quilt but on my own I dabble in hand piecing and strip piecing and hand quilting. Since joining the blogging world I've enjoyed Wonky piecing and am trying to get a handle on machine quilting using a domestic machine.

Mi

My neighbor (my cat sitters!) brought me a very cute little bag the other day. It was actually included in a magazine for gift items, etc. (This is a very popular concept in Japan. Buy the magazine and tucked away in the depths of the pages is a box with a bag or a handkerchief or a hair accessory etc. Great sales promotion!)

I think the magazine was promoting the Korean artist, Jetoy, who specializes in cat illustrations. I'm not quite sure why her kitties always are wearing clothes (I know my cats would never stand for it!) but the illustrations are cute. Now to think of a way to use my new bag!

Come to think of it... Maybe Mi WOULD stand for getting dressed up. She was sitting peacefully on the sofa the other night and Y-kun decided she might be cold and wrapped her up in his sports jacket. She didn't seem to mind.

Mi is the most photogenic of our kitties as well as being the most laid back. None of the others get their pictures taken as much as Mi!
